EP. 16 — Linguistics
You might call this episode verbose, perhaps even bombastic. You might find yourself wayward in the expanse of grammar and syntax. We’re talking about talking this week on Professor Blastoff and our guest is our old friend from the Evolution episode, Dr. Martin Cohen. Learn what distinguishes “meaningful utterances” and how language has evolved through the course of human history. Enjoy, dig in, relish, savor, and luxuriate in it!

The gang reminisces on their favorite bits, answers fan questions, and talks about future plans. Welp, that’s been podcast.
